customizing "you need flash player X.x" pop-up

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello;
I am making a custom 'alert' window for my users that do not have a flash player installed on their machine;
I would like to include a nice official 'MM get Flash player X.x' icon but did not find anything on their site;

any thoughts on getting an oficial MM icon to embed into my custom Flash alert page?

thanks
Shannon Burnett

thanks to this www.sitepoint.com (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1209/3) article for teaching me about customizing/avoiding the Flash alert box; it uses the javascript.navigator array with respect to non-IE Windows machines and the VBScript IsObject method with respect to IE Windows machines;

I'm not sure, but it might be worth trying...

Remember when you publish a flash-file as an html, I took a look at the source of just some movie I ones made:


<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="250" HEIGHT="250" id="clip" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="clip.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="clip.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="250" HEIGHT="250" NAME="clip" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>


Try to replace replace
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
by something like
codebase="http://www.yourdomain.com/customgetflashpage.html"

Again: I don't know for sure if it'll work. You'd have to try on the computer of a friend or something, since the shockwaveflash-plugin comes with the flash-software...

Tell me if it works - Ruben

hello ruben; I appreciate your response;
I have actually tried that; it did not work; I then spent a good deal of time reading with respect to 'codebase' and also 'classid' and I concluded that the classid "reports" to the codebase - in other words, it seems, the classid checks your browser's plugins and then sends that yes/no to the codebase;

that is the way that I understood it; and thus changing the codebase to mydomain.com ends up breaking down the classid-codebase pair;

also Macromedia has a Flash Player uninstall.exe available on their site so if you ever wish to test without having the Flash Player the uninstall works;

Oh, that's a good tip. I'm sure I'll be needing that in the future.
Sorry it didn't work out...:s
